Ingredients:
250g paneer, cut into cubes
1/2 cup thick yogurt
1 tbsp gram flour (besan)
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chaat masala
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp mustard oil
Salt to taste
1 onion, cut into petals
1 capsicum, diced
Skewers (for grilling)
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix yogurt, gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, chaat masala, lemon juice, mustard oil, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
Marinate the Paneer: Add paneer cubes, onion, and capsicum to the marinade. Mix gently, ensuring even coating. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Grill the Paneer:
Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange paneer on skewers and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.
Stovetop Method: Heat a grill pan, brush with oil, and cook paneer for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve: Sprinkle with chaat masala and garnish with fresh coriander. Serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
Tips for the Best Paneer Tikka:
Use fresh, firm paneer to prevent breaking.
For extra smokiness, place a hot charcoal piece in the bowl of marinated paneer, add a few drops of ghee, and cover for 5 minutes.
Adjust spice levels to your preference.
Paneer Tikka is a crowd-pleaser that brings restaurant-style flavors to your home. Enjoy it as an appetizer or stuff it into a wrap for a wholesome meal!
